I ordered through Uber Eats using the buy one get one free deal. The total came out to $95 for four bowls and one appetizer. Yes, I understand Uber Eats inflates prices, so I compared the Uber Eats prices with the restaurant’s own menu online. The difference was significant. I still bit the bullet because it was Uber Eats and because the two for one deal made it seem somewhat justifiable.
That was a mistake.
Now to the food.
First, the bowls look decent in size at a glance, which initially made me think I got my money’s worth. That illusion disappears quickly when you realize about three quarters of each bowl is just shredded cabbage or rice. And not good rice either. It was either extremely soggy or dry and hard depending on the bowl.
Second, the wagyu garlic fried rice was a joke. It came with literally four thin slices of meat. I could not tell if it was wagyu at all. The meat was chewy, not tender, and completely underwhelming. The dish had zero flavor. No seasoning. No depth. Nothing. Even drowning it in sauce did not help. In fact, adding sauce just made it worse because of how greasy and oily the bowl already was. It became nauseating.
At first, I thought maybe they took the supposed four to six ounces of Australian wagyu from one bowl and split it between both bowls to justify the two for one deal. After reading other reviews, it is clear this is a consistent issue and not a one off mistake.
Third, the garlic fried rice tasted like cardboard. The spicy wagyu bowl my wife ordered somehow tasted worse. Wet cardboard. The rice was soaked and mushy, the meat was slightly more tender than mine but still completely flavorless.
This place relies on inflated delivery pricing and gimmicky promotions to mask extremely low quality food and embarrassingly small protein portions. I will never order from here again. They could offer me a full refund plus extra money to take this review down and I would still refuse.
Do yourself a favor and DO NOT order here
